Ortiz, Lackey and Big-Ass Sandwich Bring Us One Step Closer to First Place

When you're Jerry Remy, you don't wonder where your next meal's coming from. You just sit back and people bring it to you.

Once that giant sandwich showed up in the NESN booth, I knew it was over.

You can’t beat giant sub mojo, and it wasn’t long after the sandwich appeared that David Ortiz cranked a three run homer, breaking up a John Lackey-Small Game James pitchers duel, and putting the Sox on top for good. Proving his glasses are strictly a fashion statement, Joe Maddon opted to pitch to the Large Father with first base open, even though he’s a robust 11-for-28 vs. Shields to Youk’s 3-for-28. After Ortiz’s bomb, Maddon looked about as comfortable as Billy Hayes during his trial in Midnight Express.

Lots of good stuff tonight: Lackey gave us seven strong, giving up just one run. Adrian Beltre, the Hitting Fool, went 4-for-4. Tek knocked in two while playing the part of Vic Martinez. And Bill Hall Who Does It All had a home run of his own.

Best of all, the Sox picked up a game on the Yanks as well, who lost to Seattle. So we stand just one game out of first and two games above the Rays. These are days of miracles and wonder, people. Just like Paul Simon promised us.

yes I remember this!! My dad was born in St Paul but his family moved to MB when he was 16. Course he had already ran away and joined the Army illegally...till Ma came and found him forcing the Army to give him an honorable discharge...at age 18 he smartened up and joined the Navy

I lived Columbia (Cola) SC years ago (80's!) and through osmosis and a GF became a fan. My favorite cheer of all time, any team, any sport, was when the incredibly hott SC cheerleaders would run around the football field during games with a long banner reading "nobody can lick Our Cocks!"

and at last the GameCocks of South Carolina win their First College World Series Championships crushing UCLA Bruins in two quick games...UCLA had no chance at all. Their star pitcher cried in his Wheaties

Aside from the fact that the game should never have been a save situation, overall great night last night. Then again, the Rays are a tenacious bunch and run scoring hasn't really been their problem. We must crush them.

Great to see a strong effort by Lackey and when Papi is happy, I'm happy. The rest of the league maybe not so much, but they can suck it. And I'm sure everyone (e.g. Alexis) is aware how exicted an RBI producing appearence by Capt. Quadzilla can get me.

Let's take two tonight boys with an appearence from Dice-K and not Dice-Nibble.

John Lackluster manned up to become the John Lackey we hoped for and hope will stay. Now is your time. Those under you have surpassed you. Will you stand for that? Will you challenge the rotation and demand to be recognized or will you curl up into a ball and whimper?
